The casting call for Artemis Fowl described him as a boy with a “fun-loving, open heart” so you knew before they even landed their eyes on the first mediocre white person the movie was irretrievably fucked
The casting call described him as what now
last i checked back in 6th grade, artemis was a fuckin dick of a child
“emotional intelligence” artemis fowl literally would rather die than express an emotion
im pretty sure he actually has on multiple occassions
im reblogging this again because i just remembered that artemis fowl hates being a Human Being With Feelings so much that he emotionally and mentally devastated *several* psychologists so badly that they gave up the profession, just because he didn’t want to admit that his father being declared dead and his mother falling into severe untreated mental illness such that she couldn’t recognize him on most days might, maybe, have upset him a little.
I mean, believe me, I get it – authors need to eat, too, and being an author does not pay all that well, and film rights are helpful for that.
But WTF
@comtessedebussy It’s sounding like you may need to go break some skulls. : /
More and more people who have had their dance moves stolen by fortnite are coming out saying how pissed they are by it. Especially since there’s nothing giving them credit and no royalties from the ones they’re selling.
Let’s be real. Nothing new about companies profiting off of shit black people create without giving any credit. I still play fortnite but they are wrong.
Since this is actually getting notes please reblog this version showing proof so people can know that these people aren’t happy at all and we can at least give them credit for their creations.
that part when he’s testing possible replacements for the palladium core
why did they delete this scene
somebody please explain this to me
it was replaced with that bit where JARVIS says he’s delighted to see a video of tony with his clothes on
but i
just
this scene is 459% more effective in expressing the seriousness of the situation
that whole thing that happens before pepper gets there EXPLAINS why he acted like a big child when pepper got there
oh my fucking god
why did they delete this scene. why did they do this
oh god why
I MEAN THE SENSE OF URGENCY GOING ON HERE IS UNBELIEVABLE
WHEN THE LITTLE IRON MAN HOLOGRAM DIES I JUST??? DIED ALONG WITH IT. TONY’S FACE KILLED ME. THIS KILLED ME
WHY WASNT IT IN THE MOVIE I DONT UNDERSTAND
And when Pepper admits to being sick, Tony is probably scared for real. His immune system must have been blown to hell what with the reactor itself and now with polladium
Thing is… Tony knew about the poisoning since Iron Man1, the green juice we see DUM-E making? The green juice we see him drinking constantly?
There’s a scene with that same stuff in the first movie.
This just proves that Tony’s been actively searching for replacements since then. Maybe at first as a side project because he was finishing the exoskeleton/armour prototype, because hey he had the time, right? The poisoning wasn’t that urgent!
6-months later (MCU time-wise if I’m not mistaken) we seen this scene.
And I find it interesting that he acts like a child here to distract Pepper from his research, while he keeps her focus on him, he methodically erases all traces of what he was doing. Because he knows that Pepper’s FAR from stupid.
While she might not have the technical knowledge he has, they have spent enough time together that she would have picked up that something wasn’t right. So what does he do? He jokes about the money, he gives away something /she/ cares about to divert her attention from the real issue.
And it works. It fucking works.
I’ve seen a lot of people going ‘oh she should have realised that something was going on’ but Tony didn’t want her to find out. He knew her well enough to push her buttons and push her away from him. He knew how to act so she would focus on SI instead of him.
Tony might have been actively preparing her to take over when he died. Because that rendering? Tony has tested all known elements 3-times over and found nothing. He’s about ready to accept that he will die. He’s arrogant enough to go ‘if I can’t find it no one can, so I might as well keep it under wraps,’ he has given up hope in Iron Man 2.
That movie is Tony going through his list of ‘things to do before I die,’ while being obnoxious with the people he loves so they won’t miss him that much when he dies.
Have I mentioned that Tony’s socially stunted when it comes to relationships? Because he is, and it shows.
actually, adding to what was said: palladium is used in car parts, which explains why he used it in the first place
now, if you remember, Tony is seen working on his father’s car in his workshop prior to flying out to Afghanistan, so i find it hard to believe, knowing what he knows about cars, mechanics, etc. that he wouldn’t have known it was a toxic metal, meaning he was aware that it wouldn’t be a long term solution
remember, when Rhodey sees it, he says to him, “You had this, inside your body?” Rhodey knows his shit too, I wouldn’t put it past him to have recognized palladium for what it was – he’s the SI liaison, he would know different compounds & their various uses, also, he’s an engineer himself

When you’re told to evacuate because the Galactic Empire just took over your city, you only have time to grab the essentials.
God, this guy is one of my favorite ridiculous EU characters along with Elan Sleazebaggano.
He was basically just a random extra with an ice cream maker, but they gave him an entire in-depth backstory about how he was a member of the Rebellion and that ice cream maker contained a lot of vital data and basically he single-handedly saved the Rebellion that day.
He has an action figure, of course, as does his ice cream maker computer datacore.
Fuck.
the star wars eu is a wild fucking ride
“After the Rebels’ victory, Hood decided to take it easy.” with a daily supply of fresh ice cream i guess
Epic legends.
Every Star Wars Celebration has the Run of the Willrow Hoods. Dozens of fans cosplay as Willrow and run through the con with their ice cream makers.
^ Please tell me there’s video footage of this. Do people wait for the stampede and see if they can press one of the On switches without getting gored?
this is the greatest thing ever
That’s … a ride.
Star Wars extra: *runs by with an ice cream maker*
